How can I scroll past the map?

[notblackjack]

Hello,

I recently put a phoca map on my website, which only has one page (yes, this is intended), and I want to know if there is a way to continue scrolling down even if my mouse is hovering over the map. Currently, if I am scrolling down and my mouse comes over the map I stop scrolling down. When this happens I need to position my mouse next to the map in order to continue scrolling. Is there a way to get rid of this problem because this is very annoying.

Thanks,
Tommy
PS. I am so very sorry if this was posted before, I did check if this had been posted already but I couldn't find anything.

Hi, unfortunately - this behaviour cannot be managed in Phoca Maps and I think, it cannot be managed in Google Maps, this is the behaviour of html/css and the browser settings So I think, this is more a question on browser developers

Take a look at http://bdadam.com/blog/simple-usability ... -maps.html

I currently try to make it work with PhocaMaps.
So far no success.

First comment is very interesting as well.

Edit:
So far it seems if I try to use 'mapPhocaMapPlgPM1' it sees it as undefined and setOptions won't work. :/

Solved it I think:

On line 445 in phocampas.php

Code: Select all

$output .= $map->setListener();

These are set and somehow get triggered even though mouse scrolling is deactivated in the settings for the map.

Code: Select all

google.maps.event.trigger(markerPhocaMarker1PlgPM1, 'click');
 google.maps.event.addDomListener(tstPhocaMapPlgPM1, 'DOMMouseScroll', CancelEventPhocaMapPlgPM1);
 google.maps.event.addDomListener(tstPhocaMapPlgPM1, 'mousewheel', CancelEventPhocaMapPlgPM1);   }
 }

Solution:

Code: Select all

if($mapp->scrollwheelzoom != 0){
  $output .= $map->setListener();
}

Hi,

I verified I was indeed using version 3.0.3 on my Joomla project (3.5) - but when I disable "Scroll Wheel Zoom" and then try to scroll past the map, it still blocks and I need to get my mouse cursor outside the map in order to get the page moving again.


I'd like to get the behaviour described here...

...but I don't know much about programming so I was wondering if someone could tell me what exactly I should do. What I'd like to obtain is the same behaviour as the one on the demo.

EDIT : I just noticed I was using com_phocamaps_v3.0.3 but with plg_content_phocamaps_v3.0.2. I reinstalled and reconfigured with both 3.0.3 files and now scrolling when hovering the map isn't blocked anymore. Still looking to get the above mentioned behaviour though, so any advice would still be welcome on how to implement it. Thanks in advance

Hi,
Do you also use the 3.0.3 "plugin" version ?

Yes - I edited my post to add that I saw my plugin was still 3.0.2. I've reinstalled and solved that part.
